In ups.conf, you should be able to do something like this:

[myups]
    driver = usbhid-ups
    port = auto
    pollonly

If that isn't working, check for spurious UPS-specific lines in the "global" section (above the first UPS stanza like "[myups]"), or vice-versa (global options covered in ups.conf documentation that got added to the end of the ups.conf template).

("pollonly" doesn't appear in the standard ups.conf template because it is specific to usbhid-ups.)
